Secret Agent Man Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I agree. I don't like playing with many more people than 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with the no 32 player server or much larger than 25 really. I just was expounding on what would need to be done for that situation to be a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Wow, this thread is LONG. Bought the Orange Box and felt like seeing if I could end up playing with you guys, but it seems the whole thing is full. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Come again soon! If you sit and watch it for like a minute or two a spot generally opens up for a little bit. If you're interested in playing regularly talk to Baha about a reserve slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 *RAGE* Can I just say that this attitude always confused me? Your opinion isn't holy truth, man, and even if it was, why the hell would you get so worked up over what someone else does with their free time when it doesn't affect you in the least? re: open slots, the few times I've run into a full server (well, 24/25 -- what's the deal with that?) I've jumped on another to play and checked to see if there was an open space every few minutes. Protip: it's important to hit "refresh" when you're looking at the server list, or else it won't tell you when there's a slot free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (well, 24/25 -- what's the deal with that?) The last slot is left open so people with reserved slots can connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 But wouldn't that make it 25/25 if someone connected to that last slot? Or are you saying that some people have magic "I get to connect no matter what" powers and the server is told to display 24/25 (when it's actually 24/24 + special people) so that Steam doesn't prevent special people from even trying to connect?

Bahamut Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 It never stays at 25/25 for long - the server automatically boots a non-reserved slot holder to free up that last slot all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless all 24 people already on have a reserved slot. In that case, there will be 25 people on the server and no one else can join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion isn't holy truth, man, and even if it was, why the hell would you get so worked up over what someone else does with their free time when it doesn't affect you in the least? If you're on this server, then you do affect me. And the rest of it was me showing my opinions. Also when I reset my stats my achievement progress stayed the same...or at least last time I checked they did (I was about 75% done with the lifetime kill scout thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Author Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ok, silly questions from someone who's never played: the custom maps should be downloaded before I even tried to join your server right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, it's a good idea to download the maps ahead of time. Edit: Also if someone wants to be added to the reserve slot list, PM me (with the nick they use in-game)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I won't be making it out tonight, as I have approx. 30 minutes of free-time today from morning till night, and I'm using it now to type this. Have a great time everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Oh, wow. Forgot tonight was custom maps night. Assuming the great God of College Internet allows, I'll probably be on quite a bit (my last class was today). @ Rambo: You are the only person who's paranoia doesn't bug me. Some people literally jump around the levels in circles. While this is a good strategy, it's highly aggravating. You, though, just get CRAZY PARANOID and start attacking air before I'm anywhere near you. Seriously man, last night we were on Goldrush and I had almost made it to that upstairs sniper area before the first point and before I'm even there, you're yelling at Tiddlywink about how he's going to die because there's a spy around. Needless to say, I laughed for a looooooooooooooooong time. <3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, I laughed for a loo...oong time. <3s Was that you, Sensai, who got pissed when I wrenched you on my teleporter on goldrush? Someone was asking how I knew the spy was there. In actuality, I was doing that annoying running around in circles thing, which involved me hitting my teleporter after hitting my sentry a few times (but before I hit my dispenser). Also, I remember Rambo saying last night that he caught himself spy-checking a pyro who just walked out of respawn. CRAZY PARANOID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Haha, Chadly, jeah, I think that was me. Wasn't pissed, just thought it was a pretty crazy chain of events. I think that was the third or so time I had gone up there. Before that, I had run into a recently teleported in pyro who caught me on fire so I figured I was dead, but you guys let me stand up there for quite a bit of time before I died. And yes, Rambo spy checking a pyro fresh outta spawn is hilarious. So good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It is in the scheduled events... Yeah, but not until late tonight! Anyway, I was actually thinking back to last week when it wasn't.
